An artist from Ireland is raising eyebrows for his unusual outdoor paintings, some of which are found right here on Oahu. The artist uses natural landscapes as his canvass, but that's not sitting well with everyone.

paintings, some of which are found right here on Oahu. Known simply by his first name Eoin ... the artist uses natural landscapes as his canvass. But... that's not sitting well with everyone. KITV4's Andrew Pereira has that story ... All new at 6! Before he could write his name, Eoin was drawn to painting. After years of trial and error, the native of Dublin, Ireland found his niche in the most desolate of landscapes. EOIN: "I'D PROBABLY PUT IT DOWN AS SCENIC ART. IT REALLY WOULDN'T BE STREET ART OR GRAFFITI IN MY EYES." Eoin says his vision is to "bring people to that solemn, positive moment, when we reflect and dream." EOIN: "THINGS JUST KIND OF LINED UP AND IT KIND OF MADE SENSE FOR ME TO PUT MY WORK IN THOSE PLACES, AND THAT'S WHERE I FEEL IT'S MOST CONNECTED TO PUT IT THERE."

DLNR has already painted over the Ka Iwi pillboxes, but Eoin's paintings at Ka'ena Point remain. Aila says anyone who follows Eoin's lead could be fined as much as $200. WILLIAM AILA: "IT DETRACTS FROM THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE; IT TAKES AWAY MONEY THAT COULD GO TO UPGRADING TOILETS; IT TAKES AWAY TIME FROM OUR PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF LANDSCAPES. SO, ANY GRAFFITI IS UNNECESSARY." Although Eoin has painted rock formations, he knew better than to do that in Hawaii. As far as the pillboxes, Eoin says his intention was to inspire, and not break the rules. EOIN: "IF THERE WAS TO BE TROUBLE, I HAVE NO WORRY ABOUT GOING AND PAINTING OVER THEM. IT'S PURELY AS A POSITIVE MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY." Andrew Pereira, KITV4 News. Currently, Eoin is working on a very large
